A delightful twist on the classic enchilada bake, this casserole is loaded with layers of flavor and cheesy goodness.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey and diced onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the salsa and black beans, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
In a baking dish, layer two tortillas, half of the turkey mixture, half of the sour cream, and half of the cheese.
Spread each layer evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Press down gently to compact the layers for better slicing.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.
Removing the foil allows the cheese to develop a golden crust.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting helps the layers set, making it easier to serve.
